[Ab] [Db]
[Eb] [Db] [Ab] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Db] Truth with all its far-out [Eb] schemes lets time decide
But it should mean it's not time but just a dream to [Ab] die
And sometimes when the room is [Cm] still, time with so much truth to give
[Db] Leaves you by the window [Ab] sill so tight
[Bbm] Without a [Eb] win, [Ab] take you high
[Bbm] Without a [Eb] clue, just [Ab] tell you why
[Db] Now I just want to keep my [Eb] name, not bother [Ab] anybody's game
Without ideas that go to pain, insane high
I don't want a lot [Cm] of money, I don't want to play [Db] ball funny
Just let go [Ab] of me honey, late at night [Bb] in my arm
By [Ab] my side, [Bb] in my arm
[Ab] Late at [Bb] night, but I don't know
[Eb] Ain't been told everybody wants a hand to hold
And so afraid of [Ebm] being old, [Bb] so dead light
So [Bbm] annoyed and so alone, [Db] rolling [Ab] on
[Eb] [Db]
[Eb] Well [Db] I see the ones who crawl like [Eb] moles up for a front
Who'd trade their [Ab] souls for broken mirrors, the only hole for them
And for you to [G] exchange yourselves, just be somebody [Db] else
Sending things you never [Ab] felt, man
[Bbm] Hey, you don't live, [Eb]
[Ab] but you defend
And [Bb] you can't give, [Ab] so you just [Db] bend
Now if you care what people [Bb] think, like they supply
Some [Ab] missing link, then just stand back and watch things go slow
They'll never help you to [G] decide, they'll only take you [Cm] for a [Db] ride
After which they'll [Eb] try and hide the fact that they don't [Bb] know
What you should do, what [Ab] you should do
What you should [Eb] do, what [Ab] you should do
[Eb] But I don't know
[Bb] Ain't been told everybody wants a hand to hold
And so afraid of [Eb] being old, so dead light
So [Bb] annoyed and so [Bbm] alone, [Db] rolling [Ab] on
[Eb] [Ab]
[Db] [Eb] [Db] There's nothing big I want to prove
[Eb] No mountains that I need to [Ab] move
Or even claim what's right or true for you
My psyche's sunk and slightly [Cm] charred
You might think they missed the [Db] mark
But things are only [Ab] what they are
And you're nothing new [Bb] but for me
I [Ab] see the truth
I'll [Bbm] bet all [Eb] you need
I [Ab] see the truth
[Db] Well, I can see a king and [Eb] queen
A beggar crawling at my [Ab] feet
They all must see the same sad dreams at night
If you like tea, the senses [Cm] war
A pit rich against the [Db] poor
A black hole is buried [Ab] along before the fight
[Bb] But what was [Eb]
wrong
[Ab] [Bb] It's just a strong [Ab] voice of the shrine
[Bb] But I don't know
Ain't been told everybody wants a hand to [Eb] hold
[Bbm] And so afraid [Eb] of being old, [Gb] so scared of dying
So [Bbm] annoyed and so alone, [Db] rolling [Ab] on
[Ebm] [Db] Rolling [Ab] on
[Db]
[Eb] [Db] Rolling [Ab] on
[Db] [Bb] [Ab]
